Can I use two passports to extend my stay in Thailand without a visa for nearly four months?

Edward ********

Using two passports is also not appreciated in Malaysia, incidentally. It's on their computer too and they can spend time going through both passports and questioning your motives.

Can I get a 30-day extension on my visa-exempt entry in Thailand at an immigration center in Bangkok?

Edward ********

You say that technically you arrived on

***

(9th August?) - actually, technically you did not. Your last stamp INTO the country from the land border is your arrival date (sometime in September). This matters if you do fill in the forms and apply for the extension.

What should I do if I received a 60-day tourist visa instead of a 90-day visa for Thailand?

Edward ********

Useful lesson for others - the consulate will not do the calculations for you, they just process the request.

How can I extend my stay in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry and do I need a TM30 filed?

Edward ********

- Identify a hotel in advance that definitely provides a TM30 for a one night stay (ask in advance, don't assume) and be ready to go book a room.

How can I extend my stay in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry and do I need a TM30 filed?

Edward ********

It is fairly common for accommodation providers of all kinds to refuse to do a TM30, including some major hotels. But that explanation won't be accepted at Immigration, IF they ask for the TM30. It's possible that you'll need a Plan B.

Is it possible to change a 30-day entry stamp to a Non-B visa at Bangkok immigration without leaving Thailand?

Edward ********

Odd that your prospective employer could not provide guidance on this. Are you certain that the employer has provided all the relevant documentation? Close coordination with them will be needed.

What should I do if I mistakenly received a 30-day stamp instead of my tourist visa's 60-day entry?

Edward ********

Whatever visa you have, you need to politely make it very visible and/or say what you've got. You can't just hand over your passport and play the "find my visa" lottery.

Can I switch from a Non-B working visa to a tourist visa and stay in Thailand for 6 months?

Edward ********

Be aware that you cannot obtain a tourist visa in-country, you will have to leave Thailand. You cannot switch from a Non-B to a tourist visa at immigration.

Edward ********

@Benjamin ******

- There's no published limit but that's not a guarantee you'll be let in with a history of extended stays as a "tourist."

Can I switch from one visa to another in Thailand without making a border run?

Edward ********

Have both passports with you when you re-enter and be ready to show them both. They know you have two and they often ask to see the other one.
